Liberty Market nixes controversial Foie Gras Burger from August promotion

Liberty Market Gilbert AZLess than 48 hours after announcing the lineup of 31 specialty burgers for its annual Burger Daze of August promo – capped with a Foie Gras Burger – Liberty Market has changed its mind, issuing the following statement:

Given the current controversy regarding foie gras and our desire to serve customers rather than offend them unnecessarily, we have replaced it.

The new burger for Aug. 31 will be a Filet Oscar Burger with filet, lump crabmeat, asparagus and sauce bernaise on a brioche bun.
